The FIFA U-20 World Cup Egypt 2009 reaches a mouth-watering climax on Friday when African champions Ghana and South American champions Brazil meet in the Final at Cairo International Stadium.

It is the fourth Ghana-Brazil Final at a youth FIFA World Cup. The South Americans won the 1993 FIFA U-20 World Cup Final 2-1. Two years later, it was the Africans' turn to triumph by a 3-2 margin in the FIFA U-17 World Cup. The honours at U-17 level reverted to the Brazilians in 1997, when a young man by the name of Ronaldinho played his part in a 2-1 success.
